In North Dakota, the festive season is unmatched. Even in the colder months, North Dakota's quaint villages are decorated with holly boughs, glittering lights, holiday trees, and other decorations that will make you feel the warmth of the season all the way to your toes. This year, North Dakota Tourism invites tourists to take part in the state's wonderful, distinctive, and festive experiences. From November 18 to November 21 at the Fargo Civic Center, a German Christmas market, Christkindlmarkt, conjures up a winter paradise in Europe.<br /> The market enchants with a festive calendar of events that includes live musical performances, art demonstrations, food, mulled wine, a Bier Hall, gift shop, kid-friendly activities, and more. This year's expanded hours will enable visitors to thoroughly enjoy the occasion and the market well into the evening. Enjoy the Holly Dazzle Festival of Lights in downtown Grand Forks, which offers free family-friendly activities including sleigh rides, cookie and ornament baking, as well as ice skating in Town Square and hot chocolate and s'mores.
